"Tell me, what will Ling Yiran think if she finds out the truth someday?" Master Yi said.Yi Jinli suddenly smiled, but his eyes were cold. "She'll never know the truth."Master Yi grunted. "Do you think that's possible? Now that I know, I'm sure one day, she'll also..."He did not get to finish his sentence before he was interrupted by Yi Jinli. "She'll never know. Right, Grandfather?"His cold voice spoke at a volume that only the two of them could hear. Master Yi saw a threatening flash in his grandson's eyes.This grandson of his even dared to threaten him for the sake of a woman? An uneasy feeling welled up in Master Yi's heart.Would it be true that in the future, his grandson would not be controlled by a woman?Could things get worse?-Over the weekend, Ling Yiran rode the bus to the hospital where her grandmother was.Grandmother's ward, however, was crowded with relatives. When they saw Ling Yiran, their faces were filled with all sorts of expressions.Especially h
All of a sudden, Ling Yiran knew what they were up to. The only reason they called her over was to get her to pay the fees.If she guessed it right, these people in front of her would have prepared what they were going to say.Sure enough, once Old Man Lu finished, her first uncle immediately said, "Dad, we don't have any money. I don't even have the money for my son to get married. Otherwise, my Minghui’s wedding wouldn’t be dragged until now.”"Yes, Dad, we don't have money!" Her second uncle also joined in immediately before bitterly turning his face to Ling Yiran. "Yiran, if our family wasn’t poor, we wouldn’t have thought about marrying you into the Feng family.”"So just because you're poor, you can marry me to a fool? Do you have the right to do so just because you’re poor?” Ling Yiran said coldly.While her second uncle was frozen in place, her first uncle said with a look of dissatisfaction, "Your two cousins don't even have wives. They're responsible for carrying on th
Everyone's faces changed immediately. Her third aunt directly blurted out, "What do you mean?""That means I'm not going to give you 200,000!" Ling Yiran coldly said, "I never said that I know any big shots. Grandmother is also your mother. You have to take care of her too. Don't you find it ridiculous to ask a maternal granddaughter like me to cover your travel fares and all of Grandmother’s medical bills?"Yiran, you're wrong to say so. Your first uncle and second uncle witnessed with their owns the big shot carrying you out of Feng's residence that day.""I don't know anything. All I remember is that I was drugged by my first uncle and second uncle," Ling Yiran said mockingly. "Maybe he was just doing me a favor. I can't stand to see people cheat their niece like this. Why don't First Uncle and Second Uncle tell me who the big shot is so that I can go and thank him."Old Man Lu and his children looked at each other.She did not know? Was that possible?!"Yiran, you need to pay
“Then I’ll say I can’t cure this illness and bring your mother home. I’ll see if she’ll contribute this money!” Old Man Lu said angrily.“But what if she really sues us?” First Uncle said, worried.Second Uncle hurriedly added, “Yes, she was a top law student back then and had even been a lawyer. Moreover, backing her now…. That big figure is probably there. If they really sue us, we probably won’t be able to win the lawsuit.”Old Man Lu rubbed his chin. His expression was ugly as he said, “Then you three sum up the remaining three quarters of the medical bill.”“You want us to cover the expenses?” Third Aunt hastily asked.“What else? Wait for that brat to sue us?” Old Man Lu glared angrily at his daughter. “If you don’t contribute to these medical expenses, don’t think you can get a single penny from the coming expropriation compensation!”Third Aunt did not make a sound anymore. Although she was a daughter who had already married off, the family said before that they would giv
“Nothing happened. Since she did some things she shouldn’t have, naturally, she should bear the consequences,” Gu Lichen said carelessly as if he did not think it was a big deal at all.However, when Ling Yiran heard it, her heart jumped. Saying it this way… Had Zhong Rongrong been silenced? She might even have been forced out of show business.From then on, she would no longer have luxuries to adorn herself and would have to live a plain life.On this planet, how many would willingly choose plainness? Especially someone who had experienced luxury before. She was afraid Zhong Rongrong would not be able to withstand that kind of commoner’s plainness.“What, are you sympathizing her?” Gu Lichen looked at the woman before his eyes and said, “That day, Zhong Rongrong was not courteous to you at all, though.”“I’m not sympathizing. I think she wouldn’t want my sympathy either,” Ling Yiran said. “You don’t have to treat me to a meal as an apology either. I need to catch the bus back to
Was she not anxious to no longer have any ties with Yi Jinli? After all, his existence to the previous her was like a nightmare. However, just now… She had actually thought about him saving her!“Why were you at the hospital?” Gu Lichen’s voice abruptly sounded in the car.“My maternal grandmother is sick. I came to visit her,” she said. Even if she did not say it, he could find out with a discreet check.“Your grandmother lives in this town?” he asked.“Uh-huh.”“Then, you…. lived here in the past too?” His voice seemed to carry some hesitation.“I lived here for some time when I was little, but I went back to Shen City after becoming a little older,” she said.“Is that so? Then when you stayed here when you were little, did anything unusual happen?” When he asked this, his fingers that were holding the steering wheel tightened slightly.“I don’t understand what you mean by ‘something unusual’,” Ling Yiran replied. “Moreover, when I was here, I was still little. Even if someth
“Is that so,” she said as she leaned forward. She somehow felt that his words were said on purpose for her to hear.His ink-black phoenix eyes stared at the face in front of him. Gu Lichen’s thin lips parted slightly as he resumed saying, “Because back then, I was separated from someone in that hospital. That person told me once that she really liked to eat at this restaurant, so I’ll come to sit here and have their food every year on the day I was separated from her.”“In that case, I think that person must be someone very important you, huh?” said Ling Yiran. Hearing his tone, it seemed that he really missed that person.“Yes, very important. To me, her life is nearly as important as mine.” His indifferent tone sounded as if he was saying something very natural.However, Ling Yiran was shocked when she heard this.Gu Lichen was this concerned about a person he parted with? Originally, in her eyes, someone like him who constantly changed girlfriends, and was even so merciless to
After all, when he met that person back then, it was right in this small town.Except when he asked her about it, it seemed that he had overthought this.“You’re not her,” he said casually. She was not that person.What? Doubt flashed through Ling Yiran’s eyes.At this time, the boss of the restaurant served up the dishes. Gu Lichen said, “Alright, let’s eat. Want to have some wine?”Ling Yiran recalled her experience of being drunk in front of Yi Jinli and swiftly shook her head. “No need. I’ll just have a regular drink.”Thus, Gu Lichen got the boss to bring two bottles of beverage over.“You’re not drinking wine either?” She raised her eyebrows.“I’ll be driving later, so I won’t drink,” he said.Her expression darkened suddenly as she thought of that car crash that got her to be sentenced. The charge was for drunk driving, but she had not drunk anything that day at all!“That’s right. You had a car crash back then because you drove drunk, right?” His voice suddenly sounde
